Volcano Forest Getaway

2 miles outside of the National Park. Like a self serve bed and breakfast. Clean, spacious, comfortable and so quiet. Breakfast of fruit, toast, oatmeal, granola bars and some pastries. It was fun chatting in the kitchen with other guests. It has a great homey vibe. Large kitchen fridge to hold your groceries. It worked great for us for two nights.

Friendly quiet and secluded.

John, the owner was an awesome host. The property is just minutes away from Volcanos National Park which was very important for us. The area where this place is is very quiet and secluded, perfect for us. I highly recommend this place.

This property is conveniently located near the national park, making it an excellent base for hiking and exploring. While the space was generally comfortable, there was a noticeable musty odour, which seems understandable given the damp climate around Volcano. The area and property itself offer limited amenities, including breakfast, so it’s important to come prepared. As such, I would recommend bringing your own essentials, as the property may not provide everything you might expect. Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone prioritizing proximity to the park.

The room was very dirty. The toilet brush was thrown inside the bathroom cabinet. There were only two lightbulbs in the bathroom. The hallway and bedroom is partially painted with paint blotches throughout. The refrigerator is rusted. The continental breakfast is basically fruit granola bars, weak coffee. The lights on our deck did not work Major potholes in the driveway.

Terrific location and great room. Not so breaky

The room was great; large, ensuite, and included a heater as it was cool at night. The location is terrific for the Hawaii Volcano NP. Self check-in is leading edge; every guest gets a unique front door code that works from 3:00 PM on check-in and stops working at 11:00 AM on checkout. Having said that, breakfast is nothing special; pre packaged items pastries and fruit. If you wish, you can cook your own as long as you clean up after yourself.

Having booked this online, I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The inn is in the rainforest, and very charming. Our host greeted us upon arrival and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Everything was very clean, spacious, and conveniently located to Volcano National Park. I highly recommend staying here.

Jon has a great place near Volcano National Park. The room was very clean and extremely roomy. The bed was comfy and waking up to see the lush ferns and flowers was great. There are snacks and breakfast drinks ready in the morning. I've stayed here twice now and will again on my next trip to Hawaii. Treat yourself to a wonderful pace to experience the big island

Jon was an excellent host. Property is 200 yards from a lightly traveled riad so very quiet. Surrounded by tropical forest only 1 mile from entrance to volcanoes national park and 25 minutes from Hilo. Room was huge, about 27'x21' with a private covered deck to listen to the rain and pheasants who occupy the surrounding forest at night. Building has a sgared common area with common kitchen. We never saw another patron and Jon was discreet. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries and have easy access to a fantasti park.
